Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Genuinely Ethical

I first opened an account with Ecology Building Society in the 1990s, and only closed the account because I needed the money, so when I again had some savings I opened a new account a few years ago. I prefer to deposit my savings with a company I am confident will use it wisely. I am convinced the EBS are committed to protecting our precious environment and they would never knowingly invest my money in anything unethical. Reviewed on: 4th November 2024

Great to know money is supporting worthwhile projects.

Using the 90-day notice account for funds from early inheritence, to be used for our children in the future. Reassuring to know that community projects can benefit from our savings. Ecology have kept me informed clearly of any developments over the past 12 months. Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

Ethical, professional, reliable

Ethics excellent, communication excellent, and tailored to what we need, eg my daughter can’t spend time on a screen so gets all her communications by post. Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

Good savings rates with excellent ethics

After spending quite a bit of time reviewing available ethical savings accounts, the Ecology Building Society regular saver account came out with one of the best rates whilst meeting all the ethical criteria i was concerned about. It also seemed a good longer term option as it wasn't just an introductory rate that would drop to near-zero after 12 months like certain competitor's offerings! Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

Supports my principles

Great ethical organisation with which to save. Knowing my money is invested in projects, such as housing, that make a difference and are important to me. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Great service from an Ethical provider

Ecology is a great small building society. I like the fact that my money is lent out on environmentally friendly projects. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Excellent ethical company

We have invested with the Ecology Building Society for decades particularly because of their ethical and sustainable work. We need more banking companies with this ethos. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

They are the most ethical financial provider, end of

Pretty much all the big banks (like Barclays, HSBC and others) are up their necks in investing in harm , ecocide and human rights abuses - with Ecology Building Society you can look yourself in the mirror knowing that your money isn't harming your kids' future, or anyone else's Reviewed on: 9th April 2021
